36. To Julius Proculus
J ULIUS , a pearl should mark the day whereon
Heaven gave you life in answer to my prayer;
Now joy is deeper for the dread that's gone,
Less glad are they who never knew despair;
Hypnus, you sluggard, pour a vintage rare,
This festal day my oldest cask may claim,
And I would quaff and you, my slave, shall share
A draught to every letter of his name.
Heaven gave you life in answer to my prayer;
Now joy is deeper for the dread that's gone,
Less glad are they who never knew despair;
Hypnus, you sluggard, pour a vintage rare,
This festal day my oldest cask may claim,
And I would quaff and you, my slave, shall share
A draught to every letter of his name.
